Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive mineral present in certain types of rocks and soils found throughout the United States, including Nebraska. It has been present in Nebraska groundwater for many years. Uranium was originally deposited in Nebraska soils as a component of some rocks carried to the state by glaciers and volcanic ash. As water, containing oxygen, passes through and over rock and soil formations, many compounds and minerals, including uranium, dissolve and go into the groundwater.
